There is only one thing you need to know about good Mexican food. Hole in the wall. If it's a hole in the wall joint that probably wouldn't pass a health inspection and the waitress knows broken english at best, you got yourself good authentic food coming at you.

If you want california, go back to california. Quit trying to california the rest of the west....

Hahaha... Yeup, I'm a transplant. Just like everyone else in Denver right?

But, I'm a transplant who wanted to live here his entire adult life and am excited to be finishing my 4th year of CO residency. My gf had never been to CO until Feb 2010. She (finally) made the move out here a year ago. We both love it and are happy/proud to call Denver home :-)

And if you have the balls, ask the biggest male employee/cook if his mother and grandmother approve of his food. If you get anything less then positive, leave quickly.
